The Monolina monochord: our top seller

meditative - melodic - rhythmic & much more than a monochord

The 34-string Monolina monochord has the same basis as the Monolini monochord with the 5 basic tunings D, F, G, A and C, but is much more versatile. Five single bridges can be positioned under the top strings using a template. This allows you to build in the melodic koto range. It is used to add melodious tones to the sparkling, meditative, deepening sound of the Monolina monochord from time to time, which the brain can then use to continue its own melodies. This will add a pentatonic major or minor melody to your tapestry of sound, which you create intuitively and will always sound harmonious.

The curved underside of the monochord fits perfectly on many parts of the body such as the back, feet, chest or stomach and has a relaxing and calming effect with its long, rich sounds and vibrations. When played repeatedly, the notes of the monochord create a spherical, overtone-rich soundscape that can take you and others far away from everyday consciousness.

Monochord sound examples - Which tuning suits you?

Which tuning or basic tone of the monochord suits you best is very personal. Take your time to feel and listen to which tone resonates with you the most or which tone challenges you to be discovered. Your monochord can always be tuned a semitone higher or lower around the fundamental tone. In our Elemental Soundscapes sound instrument sets, we have assigned elements and qualities to the fundamental tones. You may also find an orientation there.

Areas of application for monochords

A monochord is a useful addition to any sound meditation or sound massage. This stringed instrument harmonizes with other natural sound instruments such as singing bowls, wind chimes, wooden tongue drums or hang drums. The monochord is widely used in sound therapy as it can be used as a body monochord and the long-lasting vibrations are perceived as very calming. Whether you want to immerse yourself in meditation, accompany your voice in intuitive singing or offer sound healing in various areas. A feeltone monochord will be your high-quality sounding companion.
